2012 failed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney defended his former running mate Paul Ryan after President Trump attacked him multiple times over the last couple of days.

Romney, now a senator for Utah, tweeted Friday: “The fault for our 2012 loss is mine alone; @SpeakerRyan was a tireless campaigner, fundraiser, and conservative champion. As the sole person who could unite the House, he acquiesced to be Speaker as a service to the country.”
